Mets Memorial Day Lineup @ Arizona (Kelly)

Pete's back.....

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets lead 2-0 heading to the 4th.

Welcome to the big club, Mason Williams...and welcome back, Pete Alonso.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets tack on with 1 in the top of the 4th.
Zona IBB'd Williams w/ 2 outs and 1 on to get to deGrom...and he made them pay with an rbi single.

Mets 3 - Dbacks 0..mid 4th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Pete!!
2 run blast in the 7th, makes it 5-0 Mets.

Stretch time in the desert.

Trevor May warming up and coming in.


edit....

May gives up a leadoff HR....ugghhh.

Not even sure why deGrom was removed...because he hit for himself in the 7th.

5-1 game.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Yikes...after the HR , May allowed a 2 out single...then threw a WP....and then gave up a 12 pitch run scoring single.

I still have no idea why deGrom wasn't allowed to go 7....seeing as he was only at 70 pitches thru 6.

5-2 game now....still only 2 outs.....and Miguel Castro is coming in.

edit:
Castro gets the 3rd out.
Mets 5 - Dbacks 2.

Still wondering and scratching my head on that Rojas decision. It better be a damn good one.

Onto the 8th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Nice!!

Mets get 1 of the runs back.

Billy McKinney leads off the Mets 8th with a solo shot.

6-2.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Castro gets 2 quick outs in the 8th..then allows b2b singles....but gets the next guy on a ground out to end it.

Mets lead 6-2 heading to the 9th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Familia is now on the hill to begin the bottom of the 9th.

Familia ends it with a K for the final out.

Mets win it 6-2.

Final: Mets 6 - Dbacks 2
